Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust

Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust (JRCT) is "an independent, progressive organisation committed to funding radical change towards a better world.

"The JRCT makes grants to individuals and to projects seeking the creation of a peaceful world, political equality and social justice.

"We chiefly support work undertaken in the UK, Ireland and South Africa."

"There are three Joseph Rowntree Trusts. They were all set up at the same time, but have different purposes. They are all independent of each other. This is the website for The Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust. The other two trusts are The Joseph Rowntree Foundation and The Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust. The Family Fund also has no connection with the JRCT."
